What a good start to 2020. 17 intrepid travellers made their way to Moonah Links to have lunch with us. The sun shone and everyone seemed to enjoy the fellowship. It was a relaxed lunch and it was good to see Members and Partners enjoying the day.
Thanks must go to Ngaire for organising the event and to everyone who helped with the clean up too!
I look forward to seeing Members next Tuesday 4th February at Kooyong and to a successful year.
President Charlotte and Peter England invited us all to the first Club fellowship function for 2010. This was advertised to be a light luncheon with refreshments, 12.30 – 2.30 at 41 Turnberry Grove, Moonah Links their beautifully appointed and sited country seat.

She called it “dynamic reading,” but “speed reading” is the name that caught on.
The Rat is the first of all zodiac animals. According to one myth, the Jade Emperor said the order would be decided by the order in which they arrived to his party. The Rat tricked the Ox into giving him a ride. Then, just as they arrived at the finish line, Rat jumped down and landed ahead of Ox, becoming first.
In Chinese culture, rats were seen as a sign of wealth and surplus. Because of their reproduction rate, married couples also prayed to them for children.
